What?

How can we ask Li Xiuying for instructions on this matter?

Lu Guohua's decision was like a bomb thrown into a crowd, instantly turning the quiet crowd into a frenzy.

In everyone's eyes, Li Xiuying has always doted on her youngest son and disliked Qin Zheng. Now that Qin Zheng has beaten her youngest son, she is asking her to take charge. Isn't this pushing Qin Zheng into a fire pit?

Aunt Tian retorted indignantly, "Uncle Lü, you can't hire biased people to handle cases!"

The others immediately chimed in, "That's right, we all know that Li Xiuying's heart is with the Guo family. If you ask her opinion, aren't you just waiting for Qin Zheng to go to jail?"

Everyone accepted this result.

Qin Zheng leaned quietly against the wall, his expression neither happy nor sad, clearly accepting the judgment.

However.

How can you expect me to talk about this?

Li Xiuying spoke with deep resentment: "Village chief, you've really put me in a difficult position. One is my own son, and the other is also my own son. They're both my flesh and blood. What am I supposed to say?"

What?

Everyone was shocked and their eyes widened when they heard her words.

How could Li Xiuying say such a thing?

Given her personality, shouldn't she take this opportunity to send Qin Zheng in?

Li Xiuying was still holding Guo Laosan tightly in her arms when she suddenly looked at Qin Zheng, crying with snot and tears streaming down her face, "Zhengzi, I know it was your brother who did wrong. I don't ask you to forgive him, but you've already hit him and scolded him. I only ask you one thing: can you please not send your brother to jail?"

What?!

Everyone was shocked.

Li, Li, Li Xiuying asks Qin Zheng?

The villagers looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

That's incredible.

Even Qin Zheng was caught off guard.

He leaned against the wall, his gaze slightly surprised, staring at Li Xiuying from a distance of three or four meters without moving, as if trying to figure out what Li Xiuying was up to.

However, the pleading in Li Xiuying's expression seemed genuine.

It wasn't until Ye Yun nudged Qin Zheng's arm that he snapped out of his daze. He glanced at Li Xiuying with a complicated expression and calmly said, "I will follow the village's arrangements."

He would not make any concessions to Guo Laosan.

Guo Laosan wanted to harm his daughter.

Furthermore, Guo Laosan had also harmed Ye Yun before. With both old and new grudges combined, how could she be easily forgiven?

It's all Guo Laosan's fault for being so brainless; of all people to mess with, he had to pick on Guo Laosan's sore spot.

If Guo Laosan hadn't targeted his wife and children, perhaps he might have let it go out of consideration for them being from the same village.

When Lü Guohua heard this, what was there to misunderstand?

"Alright!" Lu Guohua nodded heavily, waved to a few people, and ordered, "You guys, go get some rope, tie up Old Guo and Guo Laosan, put them in the brigade first, and send them to the police station at dawn!"

The crowd cheered.

Only Li Xiuying turned pale and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Please, Uncle Lü! I beg you! Sanzi was just confused for a moment. Please let me take him home and teach him a lesson. Don't send him to jail!"

"He's so young. If he goes to jail, his whole life will be ruined!"

Seeing the villagers approaching with thick, thumb-sized waving guns, Li Xiuying quickly hugged Guo Laosan tightly and threatened, "You can't tie up my son! If you're going to tie up my son, tie me up first!"

After saying that, she looked at Qin Zheng again, tears streaming down her face, and pleaded, "Zhengzi! Are you really so heartless as to send your own brother to jail?"

Qin Zheng remained silent.

Still in the same spot, still leaning against the wall, the man's thin lips were slightly pursed, and his unfathomable eyes stared motionlessly down at the woman on the ground who was crying loudly to him.

His indifferent expression had long since become completely unmoved due to the woman's years of favoritism.

That's enough for you!

Unable to bear it any longer, Lü Guohua stepped forward, grabbed Li Xiuying, and sternly reprimanded her, "You're only thinking about how your child will be ruined by going to jail, but do you even know that he's already ruined! First, he abducted girls, and now he's stealing children. Each of these is an unforgivable crime! If this kind of person isn't sent to jail for the state to discipline, he might even kill someone! At that point, it won't be something that can be resolved by going to jail; he'll be executed, you know? That's what you call truly ruined!"

Execution?

Upon hearing this word, Li Xiuying's mouth trembled, and she was unable to utter another word.

Lu Guohua threw her aside and ordered his men to quickly tie up Guo Laosan. Several men carried him to the brigade along with Lao Guotou.

Why is it being lifted?

Because both the old man and the child had been knocked unconscious by Qin Zheng.

When they lifted Lao Guo's head, the two brothers tried to stop them, but they couldn't withstand the help of many villagers. Three or five men came together and easily pushed them aside.

The two brothers were still unconvinced and cursed at Qin Zheng: "Qin Zheng! You heartless brat, you've lived in Lao Guo's house for so many years, do you think you can just send someone in like that!"

"Qin Zheng! We misjudged you. If we had known you would be so heartless, we should never have agreed to let your mother bring you into the family!"

"You son of a bitch!"

"You bastard!"

They were furious because they hadn't gotten the better of Qin Zheng.

They felt that Qin Zheng should just swallow this bitter pill.

These vile insults reached Qin Zheng's ears one after another. Qin Zheng remained calm and composed, his cold gaze sweeping over them as he spoke to Lü Guohua in a composed tone: "I pulled these two out from behind the haystack in front of my house. I reasonably suspect that they are accomplices of Old Guo and Guo Laosan who are helping out. Uncle Lü, shouldn't they also be taken to the police station?"

After thinking for a moment, Lü Guohua nodded and said, "Yes, absolutely, we can't let a single one escape!"

Qin Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

The Guo brothers were stunned.

One second they were cursing each other, but the next they were all dumbfounded, mouths agape, eyes wide, staring at Qin Zheng in disbelief.

Immediately someone brought over hemp rope.

Guo Laoda looked flustered and struggled violently, saying, "Hey! Let's talk this out! I'm not one of their accomplices, don't get the wrong idea!"

"That's right!" Guo Lao Er immediately chimed in, "We're not in cahoots! You can't kidnap me!"

However, the rope was looped directly around their necks.

Whether they are accomplices or not can only be determined at the police station. Lying without thinking is unacceptable. Who goes out for a walk in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

When Lao Guo's two sisters-in-law saw their husband tied up, they struggled to go over and beat him.

Unfortunately, the two brothers were pinned down by the strong men of the brigade. They were too weak to fight back and were pushed away, causing them to stumble and fall to the ground with a thud.

Amidst their wailing and lamentation, the two Guo brothers were also escorted to the brigade...
